Lyrics

Restless feet, dig holes into the bed sheets

Restless feet, digging holes into the bed sheets

Cross my eyes to see the sun on both sides

Crossing my eyes to see the sun on both sides

And feel it on my skin

Feeling the sun on my skin

God only knows what I think anymore

Uncertainty about what I truly think


I write things down, don't know what for

Writing things down without a clear purpose

You still sing the same ol' song you've always sung

Someone continues singing the same old song

Cruel to be so young

Commenting on the cruelty of being young

You'll still sing it's now or never

Repeating the assertion that it's now or never

Cruel to be so young

Highlighting the cruelty of youth


This is never gonna change

Expressing skepticism that things will change

Things are gonna stay this way

Belief that circumstances will remain the same

Another night

Referring to another ordinary night

The same ol' city lights

Observing the familiar city lights


Cross the t's

Ensuring understanding by crossing the 't's

So you'll know what I mean

Emphasizing the need for clarity in communication

Again and Again and Again

Repetition, possibly indicating a recurring cycle

Lately I've been livin' in a different day

Describing a period of living in a different mindset

Mistakes make for good in such strange ways

Acknowledging that mistakes can lead to positive outcomes


You'll still sing the same ol' song you've always sung

Reiteration of someone singing the same old song

So cruel to be so young

Commenting again on the cruelty of youth

You still sing it's now or never

Repeating the assertion of it being now or never

Cruel to be so young

Reiterating the theme of the cruelty associated with youth


This is never gonna change

Expressing a belief that change is unlikely

Things are gonna stay this way

Expectation that things will remain the same

So cruel to be young

Reiteration of the cruelty associated with being young
